To all 11i/lem it may eminem lle it known that ll, li/iaurin lioznowsirr, a. subject oi the Emperor of Austria, residing at wasontown, county oit ll`ayette, and State 't .v ennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Toys, of which the followingI is a specification.

rlhis invention relates to toys and particularly to types in which objects, sinullating), human beings, are actuated in a lite-like mannen ll`he principal object ol" the invention is to provide a toy in. which movable ig'ures aro 'aused to assume the postures of smiths, the figures being arranged to operate alter nately..

il.. further object is to provide a toy in Whieh different sounds are produced by tho actions oi" the several figures.

'llhese and other like objects are attained by the novel construction and combination o'l parts hereinafter described and shown in the accompaflryin;u ilrawings, forming a material part of this disclosure, and in Whichllig'nre 1 is a side elevational view, showing a toy made in accordance with the invention., i' id l ll`ipg. 2 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view showingv the interior construction of 'the same.

The drawing shows a toy comprisingr a rectangular structure having` an outer Yfront Wall l0 and 'rear Wall 11, joined by ends 12 with ivhieh are' rigidly Connected a base plate 14, and'top plate or cover 15. Secured upon the cover is a hollow vertical easing;f 18, having lined upon it a block 20, the lat- 'ter being,1 fashioned to represent, an ordinary bhulrsmiths anvil resting* upon its support. A, pair of figures, respectively .21 and Q1, rep resent in :bla cksmiths, are a rrang'ed upon the cover plate 15, one at the trout and one at the rear et the anvil bloek 20, these ligful'es having` arms 523 and 2l, and 23' and A movable in the bodies and Connected by transverse shafts 25. Rig-idly secured upon the shafts 25, aire cranks 2G, in the outer ends ol which are pivoledly engaged connecting rods 28, extending through Jdie hollow lower limbs of the a-utou'iatons and engaged respectively at the ends of a bar 30, pivoted upon a pin 31, set transversely in the center et lle casini', below the anvil bleek as indicated in F i, lso lionrrn'iied in. Walls e sides of the casing l0 and il is ,n.ther shalt 33, upon Specification of Letters Patent.

which is secured the inner convolution of a lat coiled siiring 34, its opposite convolution vbeingsecured in the inteiior'of a` gear 35i, meshing' with a pinion 36, on a, spindle 37, whirl), also Carries a larger gear 38, meshing` with another mating pinion 39 xed upon a spindle e0, lall the several spindles being rotatable Within the Walls of the eas-I inlg` in a manner which will be readily understood.

Fixed upon the spindle Ll() is a star wheel 4t2, and operatively engaged with the teeth of the star Wheel is an eseapement 4.4L fixed upon the transverse spindle 31. Means for winding the spring; 8l are provided by the extending key or handle 4.6 which 'upon being' wound, transmits rotary motion through the gear train to the star wheel, causing; the eseapement lever 44 to oseillate, rocking* the bar 30., and transmitting alternate reciprocating motion to the connecting* links 28, causing' the arms and 2st, and 23 and 2st to rise and tall in an alternate manner.

Engaged in the ends: of the arms, in the hands thereof, are handle-s and'sll fixed in hammer heads 45 and #15 so that as the arm-s raise and fall, 'the hammer heads alternately make Contact with extending' ends of plunger rods 4:7 and 4,8 slidably within the anvil bleek 2O and normally held extended by coiled compression springs i9 pressing' upwardly against Collars fixed upon the rods 47 and 48, Which pass downwardly through guide brackets 51 and make Contact with. ordinary bells or gongs 52 and mounted upon brackets 5-'l and 55 carried in the holloivsupport 18.

llfn operation, the spring having been wound 'to its capacity the mechanism causes the eseapement tov osc'llate upon. the pin 31 carrying the bar with Vit and Causing` the arms on alternateligures to riseand tall m an obvious manner.`

lWhen the hammer head i5 strikes upon the. rod 47 the .light spring' is compressed,

ausing' the bell 52 to give forth an audible sound, while upon the arm .being raised the rod returns to its original. position and the other hammer e5 descends lupon the pin 48 causing;- it to make Contact with the bell 53 and give 'forth another sound of adillerent note or character according,y to the size and construction of the bell which it strikes upon.

llrom the foregoing it will be seen that a toy ot novel character, well adapted to mail pleaee youths has been produced, the same.

resembling the actions el a pair blaelt-v smiths While the noise produced by the Dells is farther simulative of the saine,

lrviaving thus described my invention what ll claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is*

It. toy of the class described, the combination with a hollow rectangular easing, and a pair .of gures mounted on the upper portion thereof, of arms pivotedly mounted said figures, hammers carried by said arma,J a pair of slidablerods extended vertically upward near the center of said caeing, hells carried therein, said rods being adapted to make Contact with said bells, and a spring device within said casing; adapted to cause said arms to rise and fall whereby Said hammers are Caused to contact with said `rods.

52. -Ain a toy of the class described, the com- -bination with a hollow rectangular easing, a

clock mechanism therein and an'eseapement operated by said clock mechanism, oil a ba secured upon the Shaft of said escapement, said' bar extending to the ends oj'i said caeing a pair of hollow figures arranged on Said easing, connections passing up through sa: pi i otedly engaged to said iigures, means engaged hy said connection for actuating said l tln'ures from the ends of Said har, arms arma, a 'block simulative of an anvil, a, pair of rods operatively engaged in Said block, ine-ans for norn'ially keeping' said rods in an :tended position, a pair oi bells ha ving dit- 'terent tones mounted below said block with which the rods are contaetable.

ln a toy of the class described, the coinbination with a. hollow rectangular casing, a eloeli n'ieehanisni mounted therein, and an eseapeinent operated by said clock mechanism, ot' a bar pivoted centrally in said caS- ing' and actuated by said escapement, a pair or hollow guree siniulative of artisans secured on the upper surface ot said casing', arms pivoted in said ligures, cranks on said arme, connectiona between said bar and said Granite` whereby said arms are caused to rise and fall, a hollow block simulative ot' an anvil on said easing, ay pair of bella, each having' a different toue rigidly mounted within said hollow block, rods movable Yertically through said block and normally extendingr thereabove, meane` tor projecting said rods outwardly` and' articlel aiuiulative of hammers carried by said arms` and adapted to Strike upon .said rods in an alternate manner whereby Said helle are caused to emit Soundu ln testimony whereof l have aiiixed my signature.
